Description:

Description: Tacca chantrieri is a beautiful and very exotic tropical plant oddly related to yams. The flower is dark purple to black and up to 10 inches across with long whisker like constructions that drape down from the flower sometimes as long as the plant is tall. The leaves are paddle shaped and pleated. It prefers shade and likes to stay moist but not soggy. Date: 14 February 2020, 10:50. Source: Bat Flower or Cat Whiskers (Tacca Chantrieri).
